Chapter 849 The King's Order

Edith returned to the residence, took off her coat, and threw it on the hanger at the door.

The rich and fresh fragrance coming from the living room made her take a deep breath involuntarily, and saliva gushed out of her dry lips and tongue.

I didn't feel it during the meeting of the Ministry of Defense, but now I realize that my stomach is growling.

"Why is it so late today?" Cole's voice came first, and then Fang poked his head out from behind the door frame, holding a spoon in his hand.

"The war is about to start. Of course, the Defense Department has a lot of work to do, especially when it comes to the morning sun. The situation is even more complicated." She threw off her leather boots, put on soft socks, and walked into the living room, "Come back later It's so late, you should eat first."

"It doesn't matter to me," Cole pouted, "But hasn't Your Majesty decided to take care of the Lord of Dawn? Make a plan now, and if he adopts Barov's strategy, don't you just Are you busy?"

"Do you really think he doesn't have any ideas?" Edith patted his brother on the head as he passed by. "Roland Wimbledon is not a king who relies solely on his subordinates to make decisions."

"What did you see again?" Cole asked curiously.

"If you want to know, you have to pay the price." She glanced at the other party, and the latter trembled suddenly, and stopped talking.

There are two dishes and one soup on the table, and the main ingredient is the specialty of Neverwinter - Bird's Kiss Mushroom. Recently, I don’t know whether it’s because there are more orioles being picked, or a new source has been discovered. This kind of extremely delicious and juicy mushrooms began to appear in the convenience market in large quantities. At the same time, the price did not rise but fell. the trend of.

It's a pity that bird-kiss mushrooms are difficult to store for a long time due to their plumpness, otherwise it would be an excellent business to pull them outside the Western Territory.

Edith put a piece of grilled mushroom into her mouth, the slightly burnt mushroom cap and the melted butter were perfectly joined together. After the crisp sound, she felt that the whole mouth was filled with juice, which made her let out a long snort of satisfaction. .

I have to admit that she underestimated this younger brother a little before.

In addition to not being good at force and being indecisive, Cole’s talent in learning exceeded her expectations—just like cooking, he only ate these mushrooms once or twice at the banquet held by His Majesty, and they were as good as cooking. Looks good, but you can't do it without a smart mind. The same is true for the clerical work in the city hall. Less than a few months after getting started, he has already appeared as an official recorder at a major meeting of the lord's castle. This speed has already surpassed many of his peers. If it were for those in the Northland who thought they were excellent The children of the nobles may not necessarily be able to do better.

Of course, the most important thing is that he still listens to himself very much.

Thinking of this, Edith felt that the dinner was even more delicious.

After all, the more capable your subordinates are, the easier it is to do certain things.

"Sister..." Halfway through the meal, Cole couldn't help but said, "Why didn't you speak at the conference these days?"

"Huh?" She put down the spoon and raised her eyebrows.

"Your Majesty Roland is asking about things you are good at, right? Since you have seen His Majesty's intentions, why don't you speak out for him?" Cole muttered, "Didn't you see the expression Barov looked at you... ...that smug smile is almost overflowing."

"This is also a secret, according to the usual practice—"

"Uh..." He lowered his head, showing a dilemma. After hesitating for a long time, he shook his head, as if he wanted to suppress his curiosity to the bottom of his heart.

"But for the sake of this pretty good dinner, let's consider it as you have paid the price." Edith slightly raised the corners of her mouth, "How much do you know about Andrea from the Witch Union?"

"Andrea?" Cole thought for a while, "Her name hasn't appeared in the shift plan, and her ability..."

"It has nothing to do with ability," Pearl of the Northland interrupted, "It's normal if you don't know. She is a battle witch, and she rarely shows up. Only a few people know her origin. As far as I know, Andrea is a He is a Chenxi nobleman, and he is from a noble family, and he is an old friend with Otto Rossi. After knowing this, we can roughly deduce the rest." Then she briefly stated her guess, "Now you understand why I can't speak at the meeting? Once the emotional card is revealed, what could have been accomplished will be impossible. Why don't you blame me for this?"

Cole's eyes widened, "How do you know this?"

"You think I applied to go to Daxueshan just to prove what I said, "Only those who have been to the front line are suitable for important officials"? That's just one of the reasons." She spread her hands, "Without this fellowship, it would not be easy to get close to witches. "

Cole frowned and pondered for a while, "No, no... Assuming that the information you inquired is correct, how can you be sure that His Majesty will definitely choose Andrea as a shortcut to solve the problem of dawn? There is no such thing as There is no necessary connection! Can't he think about recovering the kingdom first and put the enthronement ceremony first?"

"It's true that there is no necessary connection, but it's hard not to understand His Majesty's actions at the meeting—" Edith said confidently, "In three days, he looked at Andrea seventeen Again, and the latter is neither an official of the city hall nor a key figure in decision-making, if there is not something between the two of them, then there must be some conspiracy."

"You... even remember this?"

She picked up the soup bowl and looked like she was in a meeting, "Just like this, just use your peripheral vision—Your Majesty must not have thought that when he was staring at Andrea, there were people watching him all the time."

"..." The younger brother twitched the corners of his mouth strangely, and muttered something in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Edith said coldly.

"No, cough—it's nothing." Cole shook his hand quickly, "I want to ask, after the meeting, you went to talk to Andrea for this purpose? What if you guess wrong?"

"Oh?" She raised her eyebrows, "Did you see that?"

"I was going to ask when you'll be back, but...you seem to have only been in front of her for a short period of time..."

"Because I don't need to speak out all these guesses. Since it's an emotional card, I just need to push it lightly on the back." Edith said disapprovingly, ""Your Majesty is a very kind king, not to mention he is still with Austrian card." Sir Tuo once met once, as long as you ask, he will most likely agree to save the other party"——I just mentioned that one sentence, if you guessed right, it would be considered a help to His Majesty, but if you guessed wrong... ..." She paused slightly, "Who cares whether the nobles of Chenxi are alive or dead? "

...

The next day, the routine meeting ended in just half a day.

Roland Wimbledon, who had been silent for three days, did not continue to listen to the minister's discussion. Instead, he announced his decision at the very beginning—Neverwinter City will divide its troops into two groups, all the way from Cold Wind Ridge to Hermes Plateau, The other road runs through the eastern border and reaches the border of the kingdom, attacking the dawn from the west and the south, trying to join the city of Glory in the late summer and early autumn.

As soon as this decree came out, everyone stopped arguing and accepted the order in unison. Even Barov, the leader of conservative opinions, acted as if he had never said those words before, and agreed with his chest.

The entire Western Territory became busy in an instant.
